A MIND COMPLETELY BITTEN BY THE SERPENT OF SEX "You may think that the Grand Tour is about politics, & culture, & art, and you would be quite right; but it is also about gambling, and drinking, and sex. Particularly sex."

I did well. I did NOT spend money on 60 euro private dances with Jennifer, I did NOT spend any money in Rue d’Aerschot, I did NOT spend any money in Fifth Avenue. Only went to Cine Paris twice in 5 days. I would have spent £133 if I had slept with just two girls. And it has been the shot in the arm to make me change my behaviour back in London DRASTICALLY. Now more determined than ever not to go to London pubs on my days off. Just make do with my Fosters and my —–. February should see a drastic improvement in my finances, with even greater improvements to come thereafter.

There’s really nothing to worry about. —- and —- will look after me, even Aunt — has promised me a caravan in her garden. Start earning money again tonight, losing weight, and just moving me one day closer to February payday.

LET’S FACE IT I COULD GO TO BRUSSELS FOR ONE NIGHT STANDS! FOR JUST £50 EUROSTAR PLUS £40 HOTEL, £100 FOR DRINK AND F—, F— ANYBODY, THEN BACK HOME NEXT AFTERNOON, THAT IS JUST £190. OR IF I HAVE LATE EUROSTAR HOME NEXT DAY, EVEN SQUEEZE IN A SECOND F— WTH SOMEONE FOR ANOTHER 50. TOTAL £240 FOR TRAVEL, HOTEL 1 NIGHT AND TWO AMAZING F—S. SNAP CAN TRANSFORM MY TRAVELLING, FINANCES AND SEX LIFE. Nothing is possible till February payday of course.

In the end last year did turn out pretty amazing, I finally went with Inna in August! Then met Leyla in November. Then met Diane in December. In October I made the amazing resolution to quit strip clubs and kept to it, pretty much. That promises a salvation to my financial problems.

I did pretty well on my holiday actually. I DIDN’T waste 60 euros or more with Jennifer in Empire. I DIDN’T waste money going with anyone in Fifth Avenue despite five visits. I DIDN’T waste money in Cine Paris as I only went there two days out of five. My credit cards ARE coming down. My body is looking nicer than it has done for a long time. My —- is looking nicer than for a long time. Reasons to be hopeful.
